69 vista, roommates broke my roof window...

Hey everyone its been some time since my last post. Good news I am restoring my car and its almost complete. I picked up a set of the mirrored roof windows from a junk yard here in battle creek 2 years ago and one of my stupid roommates broke the long driver side quarter roof window while it was in my garage. I AM PISSED! to say the least. my original windows are the black tint and in horrible shape. The mirrored set i have was damn near perfect. Anyhow i still would like to use the mirrored set but need to find a new driver side roof window. So far its been a nightmare trying to find another one. Someone please help!! Any knowledge of a back road junk yard with a vista sitting in it or someone who has a spare window in there garage willing to sell would be greatly appreciated. PLEASE LET ME KNOW

Thanks
Dan

Make sure you invite the roommate to pay for the new window. Sharing quarters he/she should have been well aware what you're doing with that car and the time and expense involved.

Then make sure you store the new glasses horizontally, well off the floor and wrapped in a lot of good padding. Old blankets, quilts etc are great for that.

Until the roomate moves out and shakes out the old quilt and blankets used to pack the glass for his moving blanlets knowing that "you won't mind"!
